Item 1.02                                             Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Congaree Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a bank holding company, owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Congaree State Bank (the “Bank”), which operates in the greater Columbia, South Carolina market area.  On May 14, 2010, the Bank entered into a formal written agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions (the “SCSBFI”) which set forth a series of actions necessary to correct identified weaknesses of the Bank (“the Consent Order”).  A copy of the Consent Order is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with Securities Exchange Commission on May 17, 2010.  On April 12, 2011, the Bank received notices from the FDIC and SCSBFI pursuant to which these regulatory agencies determined that the protection of the depositors, other customers and shareholders of the Bank as well as the Bank’s safe and sound operation do not require the continued existence of the Consent Order.  Accordingly, the FDIC and SCBFI terminated the Consent Order as of April 8, 2011.

 

Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

On April 13, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the termination of the Consent Order.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
